Google Analytics: how many visits from country Google domains?
-
Hello, I manage a site with visitors from many different countries.
With Google Analytics, it is normal to see the number of visitors from each search engine.
However, I would like to identify the number of visitors from each Google-search contry domain.
How many visitors from Google.com?
How many from Google.co.uk.
And from Google.co.zm?
And so on.
Anybody knows if this is possible and if yes, how can it be done?
Thank you in advance, Dario

Ok, I understand. Thank you for your help!

I am not 100% sure about this, but this is the normal way of consideration. Normally, Google also looks at which data center the user has been querying and based on that it decided the location. It tries its best to give you the location accurately, but sometimes, the mechanism fails, therefore the not set comes in.

Hello, thank you very much, I have checked the report you suggest.
So, if for example I see 2050 visits from Google | Australia, this means that the 2050 visits entered from a search in Google.co.au.
On the other hand, if a visitor from Australia was did a search using Google.com, his visit will be counted in: Google | (Not set)
Is this correct?
Thank you,
Dario

There are some instances when Google is unable to decipher the country/tld for a visitor. Eg. Opening Google.com in Australia. Thats why the Google (not set)

Go to your GA account. Then, click on traffic sources>search engines.
This will give you a report containing Google, Bing and other search engines. If you have visitors from multiple countries, you would be seeing Google mentioned multiple times in your report.
If you see carefully, you will the table header (just above the listing and this would normally say:
Source (a dropdown), None (another dropdown) followed by visits, page/visits, time on site, bounce rates etc etc.
click on the none dropdown and select country/territory from the menu that appears. You should be able to see different country visits from Google.
Hope that helps.

Using logical operators (AND / OR) in Google Analytics Goal Funnels
When setting up a Funnel within Google Analytics, is it possible to use logical operators (e.g. OR, AND) in the first (required) step of the funnel? For example, suppose I want to track users who visit page1.html AND page2.html before proceeding to the destination goal. I've entered two pages separated by the OR operator, and neither the "Verify this Goal" nor "Save" produces an error message - is it safe to assume that this is working as I intend? Thanks in advance!

Direct traffic spam on Google Analytics: how can you identify and filter it?
One of my smaller clients noticed a huge jump in direct traffic visits last month. The bounce rate was around 97% so I'm pretty certain that most of the traffic was illegitimate. I know how to filter out spam referrals and organic keywords in Google Analytics. However I'm not sure what to do about direct traffic spam. Are there recommendations for filtering this out? Can I identify spam IP addresses?

Tracking time spent on a section of a website in Google Analytics
Hi, I've been asked by a client to track time spent or number of pages visited on a specific section of their website using Google Analytics but can't see how to do this. For example, they have a "golf" section within their site and want to measure how many people either visit 5 page or more within the golf section or spend at least 6 minutes browsing the various golf section pages. Can anyone advise how if this can be done, and if so, how I go about it. Thanks

Google as referring domain
Hi all, a colleague asked a question, which I could not answer (never even noticed this "problem") 😞 When we are logged into our GA account and go the referring domains section, we find Google. I always thought that these visitors came via Google Image Search, but not all of them do. Most of them come via "/imgres", but some come via "/" (always thought that "/" was the homepage?), "/url" and "//" Maybe I am just stupid, but honestly I could not explain what these strings mean... or how these visitors landed on our site... Can you help me???
